I have memories of my mom making chocolate chip cookies WITH NO MIXER! She would let my brother and I take turns “stirring”, sitting on the floor with our legs wrapped around the bowl to keep it still. Now, I love chocolate chip cookies (even though at this elevation, they are darn hard to make into cookies and not hockey pucks), but there is no way on God’s green earth that I will ever cream butter and sugar by hand!

We had one of those when I was a kid. Probably also passed on from my grandmother.. I dont remember it being so hard to press them out but a real B*tch to clean!

I think your cookies are lovely

uugh – I remember that thing – it was awful! And impossible to clean. (Perhaps therein lies the problem…)

daph- interesting that you wrote about this because my mom used to make tory and me us that irritating contraption and cookies always tasted terrible. you might want to try pillsbury chocochip in a roll that you just slice and bake. i never found those sprinkles very tasty, too.

keep up the good work.
